UK HP 2014 Graduate Programme – Business

What do you think about when you hear the name HP? Is it printers? Laptops? Maybe it’s Beats Audio™? Most people do. It’s understandable – these are our products people see every day.
But what about the other sides to HP? The side that helps the MOD get a 3D view of a battlefield? The side that brings a kung fu panda to life?
We’re a multi-faceted company. Join one of our graduate schemes and you’ll see them all.
The Programme
On this programme, which typically lasts up to 24 months, we’ll use our resources and expertise to turn you into a trusted member of our Business team. You could work in Global Procurement, Sales, Presales, General Management or as Business Analyst. Whatever the role, you'll be at the heart of the profitability of HP – getting the most out of our resources, dealing with our customers, driving sales or delivering the business strategy that keeps us competitive.
It all begins with an course where you’ll get to grips with our business and how you fit into it. You’ll attend workshops, work on projects and undergo intensive professional, technical and project management training in order to prepare you for your new role. After that, you’ll have the chance to put your classroom learning to the test on live work. Depending on the role, you could also enjoy several rotations around the business to increase your overall knowledge of your chosen area. Wherever you join, straight away, you'll be working with people who are experts in their field. But we’ll still expect you to give your insight and opinion, and make a real contribution every day.
To help you, throughout this scheme, your training and development won’t stop. You’ll attend sessions designed to hone your soft skills, such as presenting, influencing and communicating effectively. And you’ll have the support of your line manager, an assigned mentor and a graduate-level buddy. Through ongoing appraisals and feedback processes, you’ll plot and control your career – taking you from entry-level position to specialist, expert and beyond.
Qualifications
You’ll need a minimum 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in a computing-related discipline, or a keen, proven interest in IT. Customer-focused, you'll be an enthusiastic and driven team player, combining a proactive and positive outlook with a good work ethic and desire to learn. Experience of excelling in a fast-paced and high-pressure environment would be a real advantage.
You also need to be authorized to work in the UK.
